Agreed. The pine forest of east Texas is beautiful. There are so many great beaches along the gulf coast, especially considering how much of it has no one on them. Houston has the Johnson Space Center. The Riverwalk in San Antonio is supposed to be the best in North America. Austin is supposed to be a great town.
Tons of National and State parks, museums, eclectic restaurants...
And the Riverwalk is awesome. We spend every Easter weekend in San Antonio.

If you're looking for an authentic Texas experience I contend that you'll find it in greater purity and abundance in places like Amarillo, Lubbock and Wichita Falls than Dallas or Houston.
But hey that's just me. I think the only real interesting parts of Texas are the desolate western plains and the Mexico/Texas hybrid cities in the south.
Yeahhh...none of that is really true.
Your opinion maybe...but it is not a wasteland by any means.

Believe it or not, DFW has got a lot of cool stuff to do. Arlington is a decent ball park too.
You got a place to crash while you are here!
I'll be there Tuesday.

I'm down to my final 10 out of the Top 50 movies of all-time (http://www.afi.com/100years/movies10.aspx)
Are any of the below listed movies really worth seeing?
Still have to watch Singin' in the Rain, City Lights, The General, Annie Hall, The Best Years of Our Lives, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Dr. Strangelove, King Kong (1933 version, saw the two more recent ones), It Happened One Night and Intolerance.
All of them.

Love this stat line:
Frank Thomas is one of just three men in history to finish a career with 10,000 plate appearances and a slash line of .300/.400/.550. The other two: Stan Musial and Babe Ruth.
Put that on the board.
